I am not sure if my problem is related to hard disk or motherboard. Anyway, I have my computer running for 1.5 years. The system has Windows 2000 Server and a Western Digital 102AA EIDE drive, 1 Creative DVD drive, and a CD ROM drive. About a month ago, it started having periodic problem booting up. The system powered up and HDD spinned just less than 1 second. The system just stay power up without video. The system did not beep. When this happened, I just powered up and powered down several times. The system would eventually booted up. Two days ago, the problem worsen. I had to unplug the IDE cable connecting to the onboard IDE connector to boot the system. Today, the system does not boot at all no matter what I do. I did the following diagnostics. Reboot the machine on each diagnostic and hear no beep and no video. Does anyone know what is going wrong?
1. unplugged all add on boards.
2. cleared CMOS by resetting an onboard jumper.
3. replaced the IDE cable
4. connected IDE hard drive on the middle connector of the IDE cable.
